Lemon tree removal quandry
My husband and I just moved into a new home which has two lemon trees.
One is doing quite well and produces more fruit than we can use. The other is doing less well, and it's also right in the spot that my husband wants to rototill and turn into a vege garden. His reasons are good, and I also want a garden, but I just hate to cut down and kill a fruit tree. I think that it's probably just neglected and that's why it's not doing well. But it is large and well established so wouldn't be easy to just move - assuming we had another place to put it, which we don't. Is there something we can do to at least put some part of the tree to good use if we remove it? Can you donate root stock and have it be used for a new tree? What about grafting? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated by both of us. Also, I'm not sure what kind of lemon variety it is. Tara (in N. California) |

Hi Tara,
I've got 3+ acres in San Diego County. If you've got a fruit tree that is not doing well, I'd suggest that you try giving these folks a call. I've used several of their products on my avocado and fruit trees with wonderful success...For $12 you could have a more productive tree. Give 'em a [toll-free] call! http://organa.cc/ProductsLineFrame.htm Bonne Chance! Alain Tara Inman wrote: My husband and I just moved into a new home which has two lemon trees.
